Area Attractions: 

This is a fantastic location with  Gulf Place Town Center  only  2  miles to the West and Watercolor,  Grayton  Beach, Seaside, Seacrest and Rosemary Beach just minutes away to the East. Biking is a great activity to enjoy as the scenic bike path meanders along 30A.  Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! 

30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach accesses along a 17 mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous, there are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great Place
We really enjoyed our stay! The location was great with a short walk to restaurants and proximity to the beach. The unit was clean and well equipped. Perfect for 2-3 guests.

Not what was advertised
This unit was not what the advertisement and review comments made us to believe. It failed to tell us the unit was on the third floor accessed by two flights of stairs. Would not have stayed there if we knew. Partial view of beach - Not to be seen. Have to lean over the veranda railing to look down the walkway to the beach to see about 10' of beach and shore. Real joy is too concerned about early arrival and late departure - threatened by fines if violated. We arrived on time and left 2 hours early. Portal to communicate with RealJoy is complicated. Have to log in every time you need to access door code, beach access, etc.. Living space is very small. No table to eat meals. Only place to sit and eat is at the bar occupied in the center by the sink. Electric range is old. Control knobs indicating hot, medium, low are worn off. No directions how to use the controls. Burners do not continuously control the desired heat. Interior is crammed with artificial floral arrangements and seaside decor. Limited room to set anything down without having to relocate pots, shells, etc. out of the way. Veranda view is of the parking lot and on the north side of the building. Not very usable. No sun to sit and enjoy the non-existent "partial beach view".. Bedroom was stuffy. Mattress needs badly upgraded. Hallway rug in front of the bathroom is a trip hazard - the sides of rug are curled up. Needs to be replaced.

Fabulous Location
This place was perfect! Right on a very beautiful beach, private, quiet, easy biking distance to several restaurants and shops. We did use the pullout sofa for two teens and the mattress could stand an upgrade. But the rest of the accommodations - the king bed, the bathroom, the kitchen - were all nice, new, well equipped. There's a safe place to store bikes and beach equipment outside on the ground floor and the porch was a great place for shoes and towels. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
